(E3 2010) Sonic Colors (Wii) – Hands-On First Impressions

In a world where the Sonic name has been scarred in many peoples’ eyes, Sonic Colors was not on my list of “need to play” games at E3. However, I will admit that I was floored by how good this game looks. Top that off with the fact that I honestly had fun while playing. It has been quite a while since I have been excited about a Sonic game. In fact, I cannot remember the last time. Now, with 2 Sonic titles coming soon for Wii, it is going to be hard to wait. Using the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, you will control the blue blur as he attempts to save the day, once again. Utilizing speed and his homing attacks, the super fast protagonist seems like he might be making that comeback that everyone has hoped for. Sonic Colors uses many of the same mechanics as the Sonic levels in Unleashed, which is a good thing. Combine that with new powers, called Whisps, and you have yourself an exciting game.
